Time passed after that and soon it was four weeks ter and Narutos birthday was rapidly approag. During this month the little one had grown much rger and had made an absolutely huge fan base in the vilge as it couldn't fit in my pocket and thus sat on my shoulder curled up to my neder a hood. During the day it would run around and fp it's wings whenever I wasn't feeding it. The thing looked silly si was still a down covered thing and obviously couldn't fly yet.-

  I found out in the worst ossible what the little ones ability was when it got startled and turhe surrounding twenty meters into a frozen hellscape so cold that the gasses in the air turo hail in an instant. If not for this I would have thought this to be some form of ice release like the Yuki used to have. But after paring the two from records it became very clear that this ay colder than what they could achieve. It took some work to get the little oo do it again with the Hokage watg this time since I figured if anyone could identify what was going on it'd be him.-

  "I've only seeher thing like this before but if this is indeed simir this matter o remain hidden at all costs. You are no doubt familiar with Kekkai Genkai, which is the fusion of two chakra natures to create a new and more powerful o there is something beyond even that, Kekkai Tota. A fusing of three chakra natures with the only known example being the dust release created by the sed Tsuchikage and currently used exclusively by the third."-

  "From what we know it is prised of earth, fire and wind chakra but beyond that we know o nothing. If I had to guess I'd say that this is a mix of wind and water like the standard ice release with something else added to it taking it to another level. As for what that st chakra nature is we only specute si's clear that this kekkai tota is heavily dominated by the wind and water natures with the st being very minutely involved. Perhaps fire assuming it takes the aspect of temperature from it. Whatever the case copying this ability is to be your top priority uood?" he said seriously.

  I nodded "I don't know if I copy it but I will try my best." I said firmly.

  "Good but sihis is a new ability we need a name for it." he said with a frown.

  "Why not Arctic release or Zero release?" I suggested ahought about it for a moment before nodding with a smile.

  "Lets go with Zero release. I'm looking forward to the future when I rub it in that feters face that Konoha has a kekkai tota as well!" the old man said with aed smile.

  After that I secretly worked with the little e to help it master it's ability while trying to copy it's chakra movements when it used it. There was a rather rge dowo the Zero release ability however that I reported to the Hokage but that he expected, it was a chakra hog. Even a small usage tore off a massive amount of the es chakra a it tired afterwards. The results were well worth it in my opinion as the stuff retty mustoppable ahal just like dust release.-

  Unlike dust release however we had hat the effect lingered for quite a while which meant that even if you dodged the initial attack you still o stay out of the area of effect or you risked extreme danger. Besides this chakra training the e was fairly normal during this time except that it was extremely smart and had already began to uand speech eve wasn't me speaking. I suppose it should also be mentiohat Teuchi was by far the little es favorite person other than me.-

  I couldly say that that was all that odd though as the man just had a way of getting on everyone's good side. Soon though it was Narutos birthday and like usual it was a quiet affair with only myself and a few others being present including the Hokage. I got my friend the deed to his ft whie a few huhousand ryo but would let him save a whole bunoney o each month. He tried to reject my gift as being worth way too mutil I ft out told him how rich I actually was thanks to my gambling and stant medical missions.-

  A few huhousand ryo was chump ge to my just under hundred million ryo savings. I was getting close to being able to afford that parcel of nd I wa the base of Hokage mountain that the s had jacked up the price to stop people from buying. Would it likely piss them off when I did in fact purchase it, undoubtedly. Do I care? Not even a little. You may be w what would bee of my tree house at that time and the answer was simply that I was going to take it with me more or less.-

  It wouldn't even be all that hard either since I kly what was holding it in pd thus what to remove to take it apart without damaging it. Anyways Narutos birthday went off without a hitd it was back to business as usual for everyone. I could tell however that this was merely the calm before the storm as my instincts were warnihat SOMETHING was ing but what exactly I wasn't sure. Raising the little e took up a rge k of my time so I could only relutly create an additional e to maintain progress.-

  One e took missions to rack up points and money, one focused on taking care of the e and trying to copy it's ability while my main body learnt normal ninjutsu and worked on improving my chakra projes. This was how things went for the six months before the annual in exams started getting close. Over these six months the e whom I named Shiro due to it's solid pearlest white feathers that it was now covered in had grown into a very young but otherwise mature adult.-

  He stood at seveall with a fifteen foot wingspan that was a marvel to look at in flight. He was a crowd favorite in the vilge as he had a saoied to his o pay for his food as he ate at Ichiraku. Yes the e ate ramen a did strike many as odd at first. What few knew however in the vilge was that Shiro tier elite jonin level chakra beast that was rapidly reag S rank as it's body grew for the final stretch.
